Hi,
I need to count the partners in each deal which is represented by date in Column A. The number of partners may vary in each deal as given in Column B. I think it is possible by counting blank cells between two dates but I could not find the help how to do it.
Sample data is available here:

Help will be appreciated.
Regards.

In C1 copied down:
=IFNA(IF(A1="","",MATCH(MIN(A2:A$1000),A2:A$1000,0)-1),LOOKUP(2,1/(B2:B$1000<>""),ROW(B2:B$1000))-ROW())
Make the range as long as it needs to be.

Thank you for the help, Ali. Your initial formula [=IF(A1="","",MATCH(MIN(A2:A$1000),A2:A$1000,0)-1)] worked just as well for me in Excel 2007, though in Excel 2016 it returns error #Name? I'm not sure why.
Nevertheless, thanks a lot for your time.
I am working in Excel 2016, so maybe you copied something incorrectly.
Glad to have helped.
If that takes care of your original question, please select Thread Tools from the menu link above and mark this thread as SOLVED. Thanks.
